+ + + +
+ + Here I stand. I, Kitriana, Voice of the + +
+ + Shadow Union. With pride and dignity, as I + +
+ + lend my hand to Common words for uncommon + +
+ + thoughts. + +
+ + + +
+ + You, dear Reader, stand in the place I did. + +
+ + Perhaps in the very place my boots rested + +
+ + as I penned this note. Mayhaps you will catch + +
+ + a psychic breath of my intensity. Perhaps you + +
+ + are the One for whom I seek. The One whose + +
+ + deeper self calls to me, provokes me to stand + +
+ + here, in this sun drenched land, beckoning me + +
+ + to pen these words. + +
+ + + +
+ + You are out there. Somewhere. I sense you. + +
+ + I know not your age, your size, your + +
+ + colouring. I know nothing of your life, save + +
+ + something is missing. You have tried to lead + +
+ + a life of grace and purity, all the while + +
+ + surrounded by the flotsam and swill of the + +
+ + Surface. You feel the call of something + +
+ + within, a call that speaks to you of the + +
+ + mysteries of the Depths. + +
+ + + +
+ + You long for meaning in your life. You long + +
+ + for a life in which service and freedom + +
+ + co-exist. And thrive. You wish to see the + +
+ + face of your Gods. To know that you please + +
+ + them with your service. + +
+ + + +
+ + Though I do not know your face, I feel + +
+ + a kinship for you. A longing for oneness + +
+ + that defies common words. I know the ease + +
+ + with which a knife comes to your hand, + +
+ + and I know that you sometimes contemplate + +
+ + the elegant simplicity of this utilitarian + +
+ + weapon. I know your distaste for the artifical+ +
+ + morality of those about you, and the societal + +
+ + constructs that elevate the few at the + +
+ + expense of the many. + +
+ + + +
+ + You seek me. Perhaps you do not know it. + +
+ + I am here to remind you if you do not + +
+ + remember. I await you in the Utterdark. + +
+ + I await you in the shadows of the Union + +
+ + guild hall, that bastion of beauty and + +
+ + contemplation deep in the bowels of Sybarus. + +
+ + We all wait, we Warriors of the Shadow Union. + +
+ + We wait with the patience of those born + +
+ + to tirelessly seek unity. We serve and we + +
+ + await those who will serve beside us and know + +
+ + the joy of our existence. + +
+ + + +
+ + + +
+ + We await you... + +
+ + + +
+ + Seek me. + +
+ + + +
+ + Seek Us. + +
+ + + +
+ + The time has come for you to become One. + +
+ + + +
+ + Beloved of the Flari + +
+ + + +
